Washington, May 25, 1S91
Mr Harrison U really becoming alarmed
on account of the attitude Mr Blaine has
assumed towards him. It Isn't the absurd
fiction concerning Mr Blaine's fai'ln
mental powers that It worrying Mr II (or
he has had ocular demonstration withii
the last our days that thsre is not th
slightest disarrangement of his premier',
ability to use plain and terse English, but
it Is the idea that Mr Blaine does not pro
pose to give him the benefit of his advice
in shaping things for his nomination, and
that under ttie plea of 111 health Mr lilain
may go to Maine and leave him for an in
definite period to wrestle alone with the
important international questions that are
now so numerous In the state department
that they almost bump their heads to
gether.
If the republican District Attorney is
not made to negiect his duty by the powers
above him young Mr Raum.the son of the
borrowing commissioner of pensions, may
find himself the Inmate of a prison cell as
the result of his energy In selling appoint
ments and promotions In the pension office.
The civil service commission, which was
duped by this young office-broker, it de
termlned, that is to say, ''Teddy" Rooe-
veil, who Is in reality the commission, Is
determined that Raum and his confeder
ates thai! be prosecuted, and If he can
possibly accomplish It, punished. The
evidence, which Roosevelt sayt makes
plain case, was laid before Mr Harrison;
he referred it to the Atlor.iey General.aiter
holding along consultation with him, and
doubtless mapping out precisely how
much in earnest the prosecution is to be
cm the part of the government.
Meanwhile old Raum holds the fort in
the crookedest bureau of the government
although public opinion may in the end
compel Mr Harrison to ask for his reslg
nation he'll never get it unless he does
ask for it.
The old fake that Mr Harrison has come
to the conclusion that it would be only
right and decent to give the demociats
three out of the nine U S Circuit Court
judges has again been revived possibly by
the visit to the White House of a delega
tion of Virginians led by Senator Barbour,
in the interest of a democratic candidate
for one of the appointn.ents. When he
appoints even one democrat then I shall
believe that he intends recognizing the
party. Outside signs the pretence of
some of the known republican candidates
point to the early appointment of the
new judges, but it is irrpossible to get a
definite official statement, consequeutly
rumort are numerous. One will tell you
that in order to take no chances Mr Har
rison has decided to defer making the ap
pointments until after congress meets, an
other that he has them all ready to an
nouncu. There is an unconfirmed rumor that Mr
J W Foster, who recently returned from
Spain whither he went as Mr Blaine's
special and confidential agent, is to take
charge of diplomatic affairs until Mr
Blaine returns to duty. There are numer
ous reasons which make it probale that this
rumor will turn or.t to be a fact.
It it a noticeable tact that every republi
can of any prominence who comes to town
these days gets himself interviewed for the
purpose of setting a dish of "taffy" before
the gentleman who occupies the White
House they all want something, There
have been a half dozen of these interviews
within a week that about the only dif
ference in vasthe change of the name of
the talker. These people all talk as though
they expected Texas to cast her elcctcrlal
vote for Harrison because her citizens
courteously received the president of the
United States.
"Mark my words,'1 said a disgusted re
publican: "If the democrats of the next
house will put a smart Investigating com
mittee to work on this Behring Sea bus!
nessoneof the biggest scandals of the age
will be uncovered. 1 he facts are in exis
tence and can bo got at if they will go
about it in the right way, and, like the trail
of the notorious whisky ring, It will lead
pretty close to the exectutive mansion."
In vain I tried to persuade the gentleman
to say more on the subject.
Ills announced with a great flourish of
trumpets as though It were a financial tri
umph, that Secretary VoBter now sees his
way clear to paying the $26,000,000 pen
sion money that falls due in the first week
in June.
Mr "Steve" Elkins was at the White
House a day or two ago. He says he has
m personal interest in the Behring Sc
scaling contract, but that his friend Mills,
father-in-law of Wnltelaw Reld.requested
him to look out for his inteiests while he
was abroad. Of course no one would
think for a moment of doubting any state
ment that Mr Elkins might make."
In 1SS9 ten railway clerks were killed
and 135 were more or lest teriously In-
jured. In 1S90 foi'r wer! killed and nine-
ty-four Injure l.and since this year came In
eight postal clerks have been killed while
engaged In their duties on the mall trains
In case of injury, the government pay
the salary of the railway postal etnplov
uiitil he recovers, but In case of his death
no provision ft made for his family.
What is tald to be the largest block of
stone ever quarried now lies on the
ground at the Vlnalhaven granite quarrlet
of Maine. It It a solid shaft, without a
crack or flaw, 115 feet long and ten feet
square at the base. The great difficulty
w'.ll be In moving It, for It Is 85 tons in
weight.
The following presidents were born at
regular intervening periods of eight years,
and retired from office at tame regular
periods. John Adamt, born 1735, retired
1S01. Jefferson, born 174J, retired 1S09.
MadUon.born'i 751, retired 1S17. Monroe,
born 1759, retired 1S25. J Q Abamt, born
